The Berklee Concert Jazz Orchestra, directed by Greg Hopkins, is one of the most prestigious performing groups at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The ensemble features the finest jazz instrumentalists in the school playing primarily original music written expressly for the group by the most accomplished jazz composers on campus.

The musical expression of the ensemble represents a unique fusion of international musical styles. The group represents a true melting pot of fine musical talent from around the world. The music was composed by writers from Spain, Italy, Turkey, Serbia, Argentina, Japan, France, Switzerland, and the United States. These composers combine a wealth of exotic musical ideas with current and traditional jazz forms, resulting in many fresh approaches to the idiom.

Mark Chester's Twosomes touring exhibit and companion book from Un-Gyve Press represents images culled from his forty years of traveling with a camera, presented in pairings related by subject matter, graphic interest or, as the photographer puts it, “a stretch of the imagination.” — a wide-reaching body-of-work that connects architectural icons with sidewalk signage; Japan with Iowa; 1979 with 2002; celebrity with passerby in a manner that reveals, as novelist Paul Theroux describes, “tremendous humanity and humor....In this juxtaposition of matching moods and paraphernalia, Mark Chester shows us in an ingenious way how the world is related and how we matter to each other.”
